Even if you have no contract, there may be evidence that you are employed by the school.

At any rate, you are still obliged to comply with the required notice period.

I have a problem with my previous employer about my separation with them. I've worked in the company ( BPO in Cebu ) for almost four years. Last April 6, I've talked to my manager that I want to resign due to personal reasons and I wanted to render 30 days. However,she wanted to release me immediately on that day. The reason I wanted to render 30 days because I was flat broke and I was planning to go home in Mindanao. And she said, it will not make sense for you to render 30 days since we were over staffing. Which I replied with, I'll think about it first and If I'll get money, then I will resign. Six days later, I submitted my resignation letter and expecting her to release me immediately. However, this time, she demanded for 30 days notice and she reasoned out that the head count is already good. I felt like I was played, like a fool. And I begged for her to accept my immediate resignation ( Cause that time, things had changed, and it was an urgent matter). But she refused to and even told me if I will not render 30days, I might go as well AWOL. I felt like was bullied when she said that "Are you resigning because you got money? Because it's payday?If you're not rendering 30 days, I'll tell you, I doubt if there's a company out there who'll accept you." In that situation,I broke down in tears and I feel threatened. Since I had no choice, I agreed to render 30 days but I also felt I was coerced. I didn't come back to work the next day and traveled to Mindanao. I called in everyday to let them know that I can't still report back to work.Two weeks later, I came back to office and I explained my side and gave them a written explanation. Five days later, the 'notice of decision' was termination.

I've been applying for a job for the last two weeks and I kept on failing on background check or during the interview (duh, the word termination, they hate it)I understand that we need to follow 30 days notice, I've been a really good employee of them. My record with them is excellent. My question is, do I have a case? I just want them to rectify my status since it's hindering me from getting a job.

Was your resignation letter RECEIVED (not approved)? Was it duly received by your superior or anyone from the management?

why not try talking with your previous company first, secure your clearances before thinking of claims. its just a suggestion

i think resigning on Monday is okay if you feel the need to do so. however, you are mandated to render a specific time to effect your resignation. good day hope this helps

They accepted my resignation letter but I don't have my own copy.They just told me that it's already invalid since I went awol as per HR and I didn't follow the 30days notice as demanded.

They are giving my last pay and COE by July 19..

Hanapin mo yung copy mo at yun ang ebidensya mo. Again, forcing an employee to render a 30-day turnover against his/her will is 'Involuntary Servitude'. As long as natanggap nila resignation letter, approved or not, an employer cannot terminate the employee by reason of 'Job Abandonment' because there must be clear intent to abandonment the job. This fact is discussed in numerous Supreme Court decisions.

I don't have copy of my resignation letter but in my written explanation, I have stated that I submitted my resignation letter to Miss HR and we discussed some relevant things. Would that be enough? Because I am skeptical in defending my side because they're quite manipulative. I don't want things to go south - I just hope this won't backfire on me. I am planning to see legal advisor but before I'll do that I need to know more inputs about my situation. Thank you.

No, this is not enough. Even Ms. HR can deny talking to you moreso talking about your resignation.
